Mitch's goal in this book is to show Atheists, sceptics are not consistent or skeptical enough, I think he has given a good base for it.
Personally, I think Atheists are good people, some are really loving but I am not interested in that, but more on the system of beliefs when challenged.
If you are
He covers a wide array of subjects on Scientific methods. Most of the topics are familiar to whoever is into Christian Philosophy. I learnt more on, differences on history of science from Aristotle and Newton. This really piques my interest more on him, I will read him seriously.
He clearly explains the differences in science like instrumentalism, empiricism and how it is an underlying epistemology. I would recommend all scientists to learn more history and philosophy, I think sometimes our pride in knowledge, methods of science leads us to make grand claims like

Mitch shows how we are not even close in understanding a lot of things about reality, we are not skeptical enough in science.
Overall, It's a great introduction book to those who are into Atheism, Christianity, Philosophy.
